3.3 How do I get image support?

Emacs has built in support for XBM and PBM/PGM/PPM images. This is
sufficient to see the monochrome splash screen and tool-bar icons.
Since v22.2, the official precompiled binaries for Windows have bundled
libXpm, which is required to display the color versions of those images.

Emacs is compiled to recognize JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and RSVG images
also, but displaying these image types require external DLLs which are
not bundled with Emacs. See Other useful ports.
